Review: Quality Product - Great Price! - Fantastic Product and not only because of it's cheap price. I play Elite:Dangerous mostly and have been doing successfully for over a year with a xbox 360 gamepad. I thought that I wouldn't gain much by getting a joystick for this. I had toyed with the idea but as I was happy and most joysticks are a bit pricey I put it off. Thanks to a link from a fellow gamer I received a link for this item when it was just £20. I am more than satisfied with the purchase. For - The stick, although the PS3 edition, worked perfectly with my PC. I run windows 10 and I literaly plugged the stick in and it worked. Elite:Dangerous even had some basic flight controls pre programmed in but I had to edit a few in the game which can be expected. The build quality of the stick feels solid enough. It has a small alan key in the base that is used if you want to have the 2 sections either attached or seperated, you can fasten it with the inbuilt screws and it won't budge. If you prefer to have the stick and handle seperate that is also an option. I have read somewhere that the cable that connects the 2 isn't long enough but I didn't find that the case. It actually has more cable underneath that just needs pulling out if you want it to go further. The responce time on the stick is instant with no visible lag at all, my gameplay skill has increased a lot with the addition of the stick. I find myself able to make tighter turns and am able to follow enemies in my sight easier. I have no issue staying directly behind other ships now and am out manouvering ships that are supposed to be more agile than mine! There are a large number of buttons on this stick that are fully programable within the game I play so I very rarely have to use the keyboard for anything. Against - The only thing that would improve this stick is an aditional HUD but other than that for the price this is probably the best thing to invest in if you are unsure and want to test using a stick before splashing out larger amounts of money for some of the other sticks!
Review: An excellent first HOTAS solution at a great price. - I needed a Flight joystick and Throttle for Elite: Dangerous. I wasn't prepared to go for a top class HOTAS at this stage and decided on a lower level. At the price I thought this might be too cheaply made but was not going to lose much if it didn't work out. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the product. Thrustmaster have a very good name and reputation and this HOTAS does not let them down. Build quality is sturdy and the weight is good for stability. Button layout is good and although only12 buttons in all, plus a HAT on the Joystick and a single axis control on the back of the Throttle, there are enough to give a good experience. The only really awkward bit is that the lead between the two parts is not long enough to fit a gaming keyboard in between. However, if you could, the Throttle and Joystick would be too far apart for comfort. I have got around this by using a Logitech G13 Gamepad for additional functionality which I have placed to the left of the Throttle. That allows me to keep hands on with the Joystick at all times in-flight whilst using the G13 for additional in-flight/combat functions. I would recommend this solution to anyone else having problems with trying to use their keyboard with the HOTAS. The G13 certainly fits the bill. All in all I am very pleased with the product and its performance. For anyone wanting to buy a HOTAS for the first time, this provides a very good low cost solution particularly if you already have a gamepad for additional functionality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Please is it compatible with windows 7and does it incorporate force feed back.**
A: Yes it is compatible with Windows 7 without any drivers needed, and it does not have force feedback.

**Q: how many buttons does it have?**
A: 12 buttons, with the hat switch, and yaw controls on the throttle, loads of buttons really :-)

**Q: Hi Quick question is the joystick compatible with Mac os**
A: It should work fine, I have read that this is one of the HOTAS sticks that supports OSX and though I have no mac games to try, my Mac running Yosemite detects this as a T-Flight Hotas X out of the box

**Q: Do these rudder pedal work with this rig? http://amzn.to/2kRNS2m**
A: So long as your game allows control input from multiple sources I can't see why it wouldn't work with those pedals. The throttle has a rocker switch on the back usually used for rudder control but it can likely be remapped for something else if you have the rudder pedals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth buying for Elite Dangerous fans
*by M***N on 10 January 2015*

LIke a lot of people I bought this exclusively for and because of Elite Dangerous, and despite a few teething problems it is so far pretty worth it (in fairness, I bought this when it was £35, not £55 as it is at time of this review). Setup is exceptionally quick under Windows 8.1 (plug it into a USB 2.0 port, Windows installs the drivers automatically... a few seconds to a minute later and you're good to go) but fine tuning to get the best experience can take a bit longer. There are a few minor issues. Some people, myself included, have found the throttle initially works in reverse - just invert the binding for that. Some people, myself again included, have found one or more axes to be insensitive and/or sluggish - in this case it is well worth calibrating the device by going to Control Panel, Devices & Printers, right click on T-Flight HOTAS and select Game Settings. In the window that opens select Properties > Settings > Calibrate and run through the instructions. You should then find the stick responds more effectively and precisely in game. Another slight issue I've had is the units shifting on the surface - during times of vigorous use such as combat (and a few particularly hairy dockings) I've found the stick unit can shift a little, but this will likely depend on surface and during combat in particular I keep the throttle at a single setting so I can free my left hand to steady the stick unit. I've also found the throttle is a slightly odd, clunky shape but I adapted to it very quickly. Overall I'm very happy with it. In ED I used the various combat training scenarios to test and fine tune the stick and throttle and get used to it, and after maybe two hours I'm comfortable and happy with it - and I've already noted a significant improvement in my combat ability compared to pure keyboard use, particularly my use of yaw (the stick twists to yaw quite easily and comfortably, and the throttle has a rocker switch that is equally easy to use) and how frequently I hit the target. This is a well made, well designed and user friendly way of enhancing your game experience. Given the option I would prefer more buttons and a slightly more ergonomic throttle but all things considered it is a good device for the price.
